Re: Plt Off Watson 206 Sqn
Thanks Gentlemen. This now ties up who shot down the He 59 of Seenotstaffel IV on the evening of 15 Aug 40. The 206 Sqn ORB notes that Watson took off in T9303 at 2030 hrs, landed 2355 hrs but no mention of any combat. Likewise Patrick took off and landed at the same tile in T9310. Again, no mention. However, the Coastal Command Instum says it was V of 206 Sqn that shot the He 59 down at 2230 hrs. Patrick's logbook says he was in T9310/X and looking earlier in his logbook it says that T9303 was coded V. Of interest, Patrick told me that Watson died of a heart attack whilst swimming and then drowned after the war so this would just about match.
